Haha, excuse me if I sidestep a 'psych eval' from the forum's resident nutjob, yeah.

Content with getting him, I don't actually care that he isn't a big name or that he hasn't managed in a big league the most important thing is creating a culture for him to succeed, have a DOF that supports his ideas and just let him get on with things and do shit his way.
 
A cheap punt on a manager instead of the fucking players for a change.
kolyid kolyid , know you're a bit dim so I'll explain it for you...he's on a 12 month rolling contract at Celtic on fucking miniscule wages compared to a club like Tottenham, especially considering the last few managerial appointments. Compensation won't cost much, nor will sacking him compared to the last guys.

It's a cheap gamble, which is primarily financially motivated for the most part IMO, as per usual with ENIC.

Of course I hope he does well and I'm not writing the guy off at all, but it is what it is.
 
I haven’t seen anyone saying they hope he fails? I have seen some very genuine and relevant concerns that he will be able to firstly translate his success into the PL and do it under Levy!
Once he is announced I’ll get behind him fully and if the football is decent I think we should write the first season off and give him some proper time to see what we can achieve next season , sadly though if we are sat bottom half come Christmas he’ll be gone and levy will
Be lining up poch to return after failing at the chavs
I meant more hoping themselves, not allowed.

The guy hasn't stepped through the door yet and theres people slating him and acting like we're so much better than him. What gives us that right when we haven't won anything in 15 years?

If he'd gone to say Brighton and smashed it, the same fans would be moaning that we didn't go for him.
 
Gosh, I wish I was as stable and balanced as the mental titans backing Levy's latest fist up the fans arses.

Must do better.

Backing whoever we bring in as manager is not the same as supporting Levy, so learn to read and comprehend you absolute weapon.

Whilst Levy is still around, I don't hold much hope our for positive change, but I will still support the new manager.

Clearly I'm a better calibre of fan than you though. So don't worry about it. You're a Z-list fan.

Change your name because there's not a single thought in that tiny brain of yours.

I think we are on the slide , but difficult to put at Ange’s door , he is inheriting a pretty poor squad with an owner who is unlikely to address it properly . If we are going to be uncompetitive for a few years , uncompetitive with style and a flourish is preferable to uncompetitive , boring and negative football .

8-10th next season with style is about where i see it , quite possibly lower than that for the first 12 games or so . Ange is going into a gunfight with a pea shooter , with Levy likely in my opinion saying it’s a bazooka
 


I thought about this and found this interview. He said he was happy to take full responsibility if it doesn't work out in the transfer market. He doesn't mention youth but I suppose if you good enough and have a good attitude your in.

Not sure how or what the plan will be if he comes here though


I watched that last year, it was very good!
 
Likeable guy who wants to play attacking football.

That's already a massive improvement over the miserable so-called master tacticians like José and Conte who played terrible football and achieved fucked all in the process.
 
Half the fan base already hoping/expecting him to fail, just so they can say "I told you so"

Club is fucked, and certain fans are a big part of the problem.
Fans are a huge part of the problem, because they don't push back enough against Levy's abuse and keep shelling out into his con-machine, whatever fuckshit he pulls.

Got nothing against Posta, personally.

Just another lamb to the slaughter for Butcher Baldy, unfortunately.

He could be a fluke signing and take off, here (I doubt).

The issue is Levy's stewardship and methodology around the club's footballing side.

He's a fucking cunt and he's not getting another penny from me.
 
Nice.

Honestly, not worried by Ange, the questions are still the same for Levy and the board.

What's the plan? what's the structure? and prob most of all, what's the budget?

The squad is a mess. How serious are they about helping this guy ti fix it?
We are right to have these concerns. For a long time now the business side has been run immaculately while the football side hasn't and moreover fixing the football side still requires those on the business side, to initiate the fix for the football side.

BUT

If you look for positives, it's my default to do so, then here is what I can see:

There is a coherent pattern immerging on the football side. Look at the names that we've been linked to for the Head Coach role: The names that kept coming to the top of the list were: Slot, Ange & Kompany - These names fit exactly the profile we've been told we are looking for and perhaps more importantly they are very, very tactically similar to each other! (Even Nagelsmann & Enrique fit the profile to a degree as whilst both are very well known I would say that they are still up-and-coming managers - both have a lot to prove as managers, but they do sit outside the profile of those previously mentioned).

I take this as someone on the football side is doing good football things by profiling, this is NOT a scattergun approach. I assume this comes from the team that's already in place, so Steinsson or Gabbanini.

Obviously, there's still a ton of stuff to be filled in, I don't even know if we are going for a DoF or a more specific Technical role (maybe even more than one????). But someone somewhere who knows ball is making recommendations, or maybe even leading this. That much is clear.

And I totally agree with you on that.

I didn't bother renewing my one hotspur membership for that exact reason.

Doesn't mean I won't back the new boss though.
